My issue atm is that I don't have access to any of these lists (other than the wishlist and in process list). The admin approval list and checkin list (I think it's called) are out of my scope. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Scott Rains Sent: Monday, July 19, 2010 3:33 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Books to add to in process list Good addition, Valerie. Here's the Series Captain's List URL: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Series+Captains+List Also, the relevant portion of the manual related to this question of Andy's is the very start of Chapter 3: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/3.+Scanning+a+Book This discussion has alerted us that we must rewrite 3.1 in the manual to better answer Andy's question. Thanks!

The numerous lists one must check before beginning a project, and even then there is still no guarantee. First you have to see if the book is already in the collection, then you need to see if it's in the in process list, then you need to see if it's any awaiting approval list, and finally you need to check and see if it's on the to be scanned list that Cindy keeps. Even then, you aren't always safe since some people don't report what they are scanning and it could be done by a volunteer not on the volunteer list. Exasperating, isn't it? Having said that, these titles were requested just a couple of weeks ago, and I do think a couple of people stepped forward to say that they would commit to the project. Hopefully Cindy or someone else can let you know if any specific titles still needed to be spoken for. Scott developed a cool program called the Series Captains list that Nancy Feldman compiles of people committed to particular series. It might be on there as well. So sorry you are running into this particularly frustrating situation, hopefully someone can address your specific titles.

I think there are two people scanning. I've proof read several by Karieg. ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy B.

Right now, I am working on the Martha series. I don't know how long it will take to scan all of the books below, but can someone put my name next to all of them in the official list of books being scanned? A lot of it will depend on how many checkout terms I have to wait to get them if I have to put a hold on them, but I will do them all.
